Make the Most of Your Hinckley Stay

A historic crossroads with modern appeal

Hinckley sits at the intersection of Interstate 35 between Minneapolis and Duluth, where a devastating 1894 firestorm that claimed over 400 lives shaped the town's identity. The Hinckley Fire Museum, housed in a restored 1890s railroad depot, tells this survival story through artifacts and firsthand accounts. Today, the town balances historical significance with contemporary attractions, anchored by Grand Casino Hinckley—a major entertainment complex owned by the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe featuring gaming, concerts, and the championship Grand National Golf Club.

Dining and outdoor access

The Winds Steakhouse delivers premier dining with chef-crafted menus and extensive wine selection, while Tobies Restaurant has earned regional fame for caramel rolls so substantial they require utensils. St. Croix State Park—Minnesota's largest at 34,000 acres—offers hiking, canoeing, and CCC-era architecture just 15 miles east. The paved Willard Munger State Trail runs through town, providing 70 miles of cycling and walking routes along historic railroad corridors.

Practical considerations

Business travelers appreciate the casino's convention facilities and golf course for client entertainment. Renting a car at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (85 miles south) provides flexibility, though Groome Transportation operates shuttles to Tobies Station. The town functions as an efficient base for exploring Banning State Park or continuing north to Duluth's Lake Superior waterfront.
